If the front-man is the face of a band or as a solo artist, the guitarist is often the second most well-known face with crushing riffs that can make or break a song or make it memorable. But it is the bass player who is responsible for creating a strong rhythm section. Their contribution to any song is as strong as a drummer or a guitarist but bass players tend to be lesser-known figures and, in some cases, they’re not even in a fan’s music vocabulary as important in creating a sound.
